Page 9: issues 7 (Point Me at the Sky) and Special 3 (Sysyphus Part 3)

I'm putting together a crossover project to run through next year through many comics and also benefit the Hero Initiative. If you're interested in participating, e-mail me at karamesser@hotmail.com or PQ me on this site.

Top page: This page had potential to be very risque, but I wanted to show where the Swimmer has had to go for her own employment. Like Eiderdown, she has faced a difficult time finding a job. Unlike Eiderdown, she went a route that may pay dividends but also isn't something very many people would be willing to do. She wears a disguise for it due to the simple fact that she would like that side of her life to be private from her “real” life, effectively giving her three identities (civilian, superhero and performer).
Note that you really don't need to know what's written on panel 7, but it would be easier in print (hint, hint). The most important note it brings up is that she mentions that she's Cherokee. This could also be gleaned from her username, TsalagiTS (“Tsalagi” is “Cherokee” in the Cherokee language), but that also is hard to read at this size.

Bottom page: I keep drawing Order in Joff's style more than my own. This is, in part, because I really don't know what she would look like in mine. Of course, if I strove to have a more stylistic style, rather than realistic, I might put in something halfway decent visually. But, seeing as how I can't draw characters the same across panels, that would still be a difficult prospect.
But the important line here just could be on the last panel. Tempore is going out of control, working his way around, or plainly breaking, rules that he would normally obey without question. His determination towards a specific end could very easily destroy him, either physically or idealistically.
